Realtor.com Maps
PROJECT OVERVIEW (tl;dr)
- Designed a map system for the Realtor.com, our flagship real estate search product in 2015-16.
- Includes maps for homes, real estate agents, neighborhoods and schools.
- My role was lead UX Designer for the map system, spanning many products and teams.
- It’s not all public yet, so I can’t share details here. Lets talk in person :)
FULL STORY
Realtor.com is the flagship product of Move Inc. and the original site for online real estate (50 million UUs/month). It’s map view of the search results page has gone through several iterations in recent years and features came and went. It came time for our design team to define a complete map system to set a vision for the product that could be built iteratively.
The map system addressed a wide range of map aspects including:
- Pins styling and interaction
- Data density and performance concerns
- Constrained polygon search
- Base map styling
- Draw tools
- Saved items
- Consumer media and amenity integrations
- Data layers like crime, commute, pollution
This project was quite complex, and I have lots more to share.
